a flair for the dramatic
she reiterates her latest bugbear
about the potholes the council deems "acceptable"
despite the damage to her car.

to the gradual removal of litter bins
and the introduction of fees
for the emptying of garden waste.
Just smile and nod
and try not to engage her
other than a quick "hello."
